The song "I Want It That Way" was written by Andreas Carlsson and Max Martin, and produced by Martin and Kristian Lundin. It expresses the lyrics of a person longing for their lover, expressing that they are "fire" and "one desire", but that they are now "two worlds apart". The song is about a boy and girl who loved each other but the girl didn't like him anymore and left. It goes on to describe the boy still loving her despite the distance between them.
